What a shock. Not.

While I don't like to crow "Told you so!"...

Oh, wait. Yes I do.In other news, my great-aunt (b.1917) passed on this morning after ten years of increasing decline. She was the last of her generation on my mother's side of the family

I'm sorry about your great-aunt and glad about the car. :)

Well, from what I heard kind of third-hand, she'd been pretty much asleep for the last few days anyway, and everyone was expecting it. I actually got a heads-up a few days ago saying that she wasn't expected to last the week.

I can't really remember the last time we spoke, either - might have been a dozen years ago or more. Even then, she was kind of heading gracefully downwards, and it probably only really took this long because she was of that generation where if they survived to adulthood, they were practically indestructable for anything short of Kryptonite.

I understand, we have one of those in the family, my grandmother's cousin born in 1912.

My mom has to drive the six-hour round trip to visit her for an entire day once a week.

Wow. At that rate, she might very well hang on for her centenary!
